Graham Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 "the visor's too red" I hope this is not going to become the new "the hands are too small". Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 lol no, thats only a minor nit-pick. Stickers will fix it up, draw all the attention away.
Scream Man Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 i remmeber when i first saw Robotech, I could neevr figure out where the cockpits on the destroids even were!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 i remmeber when i first saw Robotech, I could neevr figure out where the cockpits on the destroids even were! Same, but mostly for the Defender, and Spartan. We got to see the Tommo pilot with retracted canopy atleast. I think the only Destroids shown on the series details with pilots and inside the canopy are Mac II an Tomohawk. Can't remember the Spartan episode enough with Hikaru...

jenius Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 These things definitely cost way too much to try to collect all of them (weathered, repaint). Oh well, I think it's cool we've got choices as the plain brown wasn't my favorite.
treatment Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Fwiw, I can somehow justify the pricing on the Tomahawk, but just cannot on the Defender. I don't think I can justify the pricing on the Spartan, either, if that ever gets out. I really think Yamato-Toys should significantly lower the pricing on the Defender and other upcoming Destroids.

Dunno what "OD' means. Edited October 16, 2008 by Vifam7
Dante74 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Weathered version and "OD" version Tomahwaks to come out sometime in the future. Dunno what "OD' means. Thanks! So the weathered version will be available through normal channels?... please Yamato?
Radd Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Ouch, my order has already gone through on my regular Tomahawk, I'll be waiting on weathered versions for all the rest if we can expect that.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 That's not weathered, it's a kaki green low vis 2 scheme nah prefer the first version.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) Be nice if it was refferring to the VF-0D somehow but i don't want to get my hopes up. Edited October 17, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

I don't think I can justify the pricing on the Spartan, either, if that ever gets out. I really think Yamato-Toys should significantly lower the pricing on the Defender and other upcoming Destroids. I don't think they will sell very well at the current price. I'm betting if we wait, we can get them at clearance prices...
UN_MARINE Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 yup, OD is Olive Drab. i like it. i just hope it doesn't cost more or even a limited edition. does that mean they're gonna do an urban camo version too?

Hah! Olive Drab is official SLDF colors, iirc. Sweet!!! Dunno if I'll be interested in any Camo-colors (urban or otherwise), tho.

Have a little faith my friend, stranger things have happened with Yamato so far. A VF-0D could easily be in the works!!!!!! As you can see I want one too!! I love the new Defender (cough, cough Radar-X....cough) was always one of my favorites, 4 big cannons, simple, raw, love it!! Bring on the Spartan next!!!! Edited October 17, 2008 by 505thAirborne

I think your coughing the wrong way round. Radar X is RT! 0D will make it's way to us one day.
Radd Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 That's not weathered, it's a kaki green low vis 2 scheme nah prefer the first version. I thought someone had mentioned that the above links referred to both this OD version and a weathered version. Was fairly sleep deprived when I read that.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 But why 0D, are they toying with us or something? :-P
CF18 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Source: Cybergundam About 20% more expensive then the regular one. Not bad.
jenius Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 So will they do this with all the destroids? Should we always just wait for weathered versions if that's what we prefer?

EXO Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 if the destroids have all that tampo printing on it, I'd pay extra for that. Looks like decals though... I hate decals.

OmegaD3k Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Gotta love the "construction vehicle" yellow/orange/black color scheme! Interesting concept, to allow other machines to be built using different modules. A mecha built of three differently colored modules will look freaky. XD
Batou Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I will. Hell, I will too. Tell me they're really doing that and it's not just a custom mockup for display. I'm kind of iffy on the weathering schemes they've used on the vf-1s they put out, but it looks perfect on that destroid. For once, my procrastination in not jumping right on the first one pays off.
T0t0r0 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Just a humorous observation on swapping the weapons modules between the Defender and the Tomahawk (assuming that will actually work)... you would end up with a Destroid with either two pilots or no pilot. On the Tomahawk the pilot is in the main torso section, on the Defender the pilot is in the weapons module.
dizman Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 OOOH it even comes with extended ammo clip things (smallest picture on the bottom of the poster)! Also do I see a hatch below the red eye in the big main picture?
Fly4victory Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Source: Cybergundam About 20% more expensive then the regular one. Not bad. Looks nice but not worth 20% more. So is Yamato releasing the Max Q-ray? Hope for a pilot this time.
EXO Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I hate stickers even more and I'm pretty sure that's what they are. I kinda doubt they would do weathering on stickers... just like on the weathered 1/48 VF-1s, they put decals on those.
